Per una buona psicoanalisi dell’arte: Vygostskij e il Mosè di Freud

2012

The aim of this article is to show that Vygotskijan and Freudian positions on the psychological analysis of art move from a similar conception of art and of human mind. To demonstrate our thesis we have substantially used two works: Vygostkij’s Psychology of art and Freud’s Moses of Michelangelo. We consider that, in spite of the critic that Vygostkij makes against the psychoanalytic approach to the products of art, probably for historic reasons, the importance that he gives to the notion of form, of social context and of conscious factors in artistic creations is the same that Freud gives in his applied psychoanalysis, and this is clear in the essay on Moses. In particular, if we concentra…

Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) as an Emergent System: A Dynamic Systems Theory Perspective

2016

This paper sets out to present a novel construal of one of the notions of Vygotskian cultural-historical theory viz., zone of proximal development (ZPD) drawing upon dynamic systems theory. The principal thesis maintains that ZDP is an emergent and dynamic system which is engendered by a dialectical concatenation of psychogenesic and sociogenesic facets of human development over time. It is reasoned that Vygotskian cultural-historical theory of human development, by invoking dialectical logic, has transcended Cartesian substance dualism and in turn has proffered a monistic and process-anchored ontology for emerging becoming of human consciousness. Likewise, it is contended that dynamic syst…

Lev Vygotskin ihmiskäsityksen perusteista

2013

Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää kasvatuspsykologi ja filosofi Lev Vygotskin ihmiskäsityksen filosofisia perusteita ja sen keskeisiä piirteitä. Lisäksi tavoitteena on esitellä hänen tuotantonsa loppuvaiheen kehitystä ja keskeneräiseksi jäänyttä teoriaa tunteista. Tavoitteena on selvittää, millä tavalla Vygotskin tieteenfilosofiset periaatteet mutta myös aikakauden ideologiset tavoitteet näkyvät hänen ajattelussaan. Vygotski jätti jälkeensä monipuolisen tuotannon, joka on kuitenkin kärsinyt käännösongelmista ja valikoidusta käytöstä. Tuotannon tarkastelussa aukkoja on sekä kulttuurihistoriallisen teorian merkityksen analyysissä että lopputuotannon tulkinnassa. Tutkielmani aineistona ovat m…

Rethinking Vygotskian Cultural-Historical Theory in Light of Pepperian Root Metaphor Theory : Dynamic Interplay of the Organicism and Contextualism

2016

This article examines Vygotskian cultural-historical theory by putting it into dialogue with Stephen Pepper's root metaphor theory. I focus on Vygotsky's insistence on the dialectical unity of the phylogenetic and ontogenetic domains in ontogenesis, which he articulated in his account of how the natural-psychological and cultural-psychological lines of development merge with the emergence of speeching in ontogenesis. I compare Vygotsky's two genetic domains and Pepper's world hypotheses of organicism and contextualism. I argue that Vygotsky transcended what is often thought of as a fundamental dichotomy between organicism and contextualism. In accomplishing this effective reconciliation, Vy…

Developing a metatheoretical framework for second language development : a cultural-historical theory and dynamic systems theory perspective

2017

The main aim of this article-based dissertation is to construct and articulate a dialectical metatheoretical architecture for the study of second language development termed Purposive-Historical Systems Theory (PHiST) invoking, inter alia, the axiomatic imperatives of dynamic systems theory (DST), Vygotskian cultural-historical theory (CHT), and Pepperian root metaphor theory (RMT). Specifically, it primarily purports, first, to demonstrate the tenability of a dialectical synthesis of DST and CHT; second, to philosophize on the fundamental contours of PHiST; third, to apply a novel metatheoretical perspective, as a quintessential example, to reconceptualizing the seminal construct of the Zo…
